Tell me more. Which saw is it? How long has it lasted? Pros/cons?I've a couple of Lidl tools, including a sliding mitre saw, and circular saw. Both see periods of very heavy use, but otherwise, pure DIY. They are both corded. Both a decent tools. Are Parkside tools rebadged Scheppach?
I had a great Parkside power screwdriver which I loved, but it packed in recently. The replacement from B&Q, Mac Allister, is slow as Christmas and doesn't seem to hold a charge as long as the parkside one did.
I'd be very reluctant to buy from Germany, for warranty reasons. Return post will cost as much as the tool!
*edit* I should add that the restraining clamp on the mitre saw broke off almost immediately - cheap cast alloy - and i never bothered to replace it. Seeing the "how not to use a mitre saw" thread has reminded me why it's important!
I recently saw a parkside one where the depth stop had broken and been replaced. But looking at second hand mitre saws it’s rare to see one from any manufacturer with all its restraining clamps. It’s something I specifically look for. Part of the reason I’m veering towards new/cheap models that have a warranty. But if I’m honest the Bosch owners tend to keep their clamps - worth noting I guess.
